Any experience with the “Disguise IP” and “Disguise location” options?
What no longer works?
for a general intro, read Advanced Privacy - know all about it - hide-my-ip uses Tor.
These issues in my history I’d tag “tor”:
- Cloudflare Blocks TOR
- Antennapod download errors (403s etc)
- Advanced Privacy breaks media streaming for Talk HPB
- Many Apps need to have my real IP for working well
- Linphone not connecting
- Threema Libre und Anrufe (de)
- Kleinanzeigen App - can't log in (de)
- CloudFlare nervt (de)
The gist is: a lot of websites employ cloudflare, a security middlemen. They do have captchas for Tor users, but site operators can choose to block altogether. Then there is UDP what doesn’t work at all on Tor - UDP is used in realtime communications: (video)calls in messengers, live streaming possibly.

Thank you for the detailed answer. I will study the information and test the apps I use.
